![]() ![]() Or you could add a sealed hydrogen fuel cell rented from a store and just hand it back or swap it when no longer required.The point is that in most cases we'll just want to use the internal battery but sometimes we'll want more range. Or you could have a small ICE and plug in an exhaust hose to use as a generator. A battery range extender could be rented from a garage on longer trips just like picking up barbecue gas. If the trunk (or frunk) contained ports to allow connection of a portable range extender (hydrogen / battery / ICE / other) it then opens up a huge amount of possibilities. For that I'll have another car available running on petrol.The thing is, if electric is going to be the future we need to all be able to live with pure-electric cars and not have another petrol car waiting as a stand-by on the drive.Competitors have range extenders as small ICE engines and there's talk of swappable battery packs etc. ![]() My commute is fairly short - about 30 miles return so that's not a problem.Where I may have a problem is when I go further afield for client visits, days out etc. I have a model 3 on order and this will be my first venture into the world of EV's.I think pure electric is the way to go, and Hydrogen seems a madly expensive option.So my only concern is range and refuelling time. ![]()
